Chubby girl, BIG problem.


When we lose twenty pounds…we may be losing the best twenty pounds we have! We may be losing the pounds that contain our genius, our humanity, our love and honesty.”
- Woody Allen

Is it true that my brain is made primarily of fat? If so I choose to leave it as is and take the fat out of my ass. Ever since I can remember I have been overweight, but I never thought (or admitted) it was truly a problem until I got a new doctor a couple years ago. The assistant asked me to please step on the scale as I made her promise not to say the number out-loud...to my dismay the request went unheeded and the dreaded number slapped me in the face.
You think that working for the military for a year and a half would have been motivation enough at that point to do something about it, but it was not until the past few months when I started my own business that I have pushed myself to do something about it. Perhaps it's the fact that I don't have the military to stand behind me, that I only have myself and my image to lean on. I need this to work and I need myself to workout.
So far with the business I've had a few jobs and with the weight-loss I've been successful with losing 27 pounds to date. This blog will be a record of my journey while starting my own business, losing half myself (physically) and finding myself (emotionally).
